Emelyne R. Mini Flap Bag - SM-087

🙄 “Ugh, another sales call…”
When the Rivalis network contacted me last year, I nearly hung up… and yet, curious, I agreed to a meeting with their local consultant—who turned out to be a woman: Emelyne.

📊 Thanks to her, I brought order to my business (I had never made a business plan 😬), and organized a funding search that I sorely needed to gain peace of mind and stabilize my business.
🤝🏻 With patience, she guided me for a full year and came to understand my practice well enough to know I was the right person for this mission.
On my side, I had the chance to admire this beautiful, always-elegant woman.

👜 So when she entrusted me with her large Bottega Venetta bag—once fabulous, now tired—asking me to transform it so she could enjoy it again, I didn’t hesitate…
👀 She wanted a small, very chic bag in the spirit of D*or. I suggested a pattern that matched her vision and showcased the fascinating texture of the leather.
Together we worked out all the details: material placement, the exact hardware color, the chain look, etc.
The outer leather had amazing texture and was in good condition, while the all-suede leather lining was stained—but I managed to cut from the cleanest sections, and even reused the original interior pocket.

✂️📐🧵 Disassembling everything, weaving the chain with a leather cord, cutting the pieces, stabilizing the necessary components, installing the hardware… and finally, putting it all back together.
A time-consuming process, but essential to achieve the quality of finish she expected.
